The State Department's top aid official said on Thursday that $1.8 billion in new humanitarian aid to be provided by the U.S. through the United Nations would be used in line with the Trump administration's foreign policy interests, APA reports citing Reuters.
The new funding pledge came on top of $2 billion in funding the U.S. announced in December under a new mechanism designed to make aid funding and delivery more efficient and increase accountability as the U.S. and other developed nations have slashed aid spending.
